Ink has never been innocent. Before it becomes an artwork, it starts as a mark, an intent to leave something behind, because what we put on paper exists in the world that produced it.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThis ๐ˆ๐๐Š๐“๐Ž๐๐„๐‘ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ”, we draw from the issues and contradictions of the present.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽFrom the resilience that asks people to endure what should have been long changed. The haze that obscures what we see to the doomscrolling that keeps us awake. From fanaticism and sexism, to the weaker peso we feel in our daily lives.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThese are words taken from the world that demands our attention.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽAs a literature and cultural studies organization, ๐‡๐€๐๐ƒ๐”๐‘๐€๐–๐€๐ believes that art is a form of protest. To draw is to look closely. To name is to refuse to forget. To create is to ask who is allowed to speak, who is made invisible, and who bears the cost.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽBut resistance does not always have to arrive as a shout. Sometimes it's born from a sentence written intently on a page or as an image that refuses to look away from things that people ought to turn a blind eye to.
โ€Ž
โ€ŽThis year, we invite artists, students, readers, or anyone willing to pick up a pen or a brush to respond to the world through ink. Interpret the prompts literally or otherwise. Reimagine them. Complicate them. Satirize them. Turn them inside out. Let them become questions, memories, nightmares, testimonies, or acts of refusal. There is no single way to respond. There is only the invitation to look, to think, to drawโ€” TO CREATE!

Somewhere between the conversations you never turn away from and the things you quietly notice, you became something like a mother to almost every circle you found yourself in. You have a way of making room, for the random, the serious, the unfinished. People talk, and you let them. Somehow, the weight of a conversation feels lighter simply because it found its way to you.

Though you do more than listen. You notice what others overlook, especially when it comes to students, and you turn that awareness into something that reaches beyond yourself. In ๐‡๐š๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ง, your presence has become one of those things that quietly holds a community together.

Maybe that is your kind of mothering, not always knowing what to say, but always making people feel there is somewhere to say it.

Happy birthday to our Sophia!

From random street food cravings and coffee runs, to sleeping whenever she gets the chance and finding a little spot to tambay on the campus field, somehow, even the most ordinary things become very Soph.

But beyond all those little things, weโ€™re especially grateful for everything you quietly bring to ๐‡๐š๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ง. As one of our technical team, youโ€™re often behind the scenes, making sure things work, details donโ€™t get missed, and the rest of us can focus on whatโ€™s in front of us. Thank you for always showing up, figuring things out, and contributing in ways that make a real and genuine difference.

Cheers, yells and hereโ€™s to more coffee, more food trips, more naps, more tambay sa field, and more moments where you get to enjoy the things you help make possible for everyone else.

Weโ€™re lucky to have you, and Happiest birthday, Sophia! ๐Ÿค
